OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to 'wait Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, =Tossing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock . c_Nr4i43'NA„. AwitarAmormxt, " -11.1?c+ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1836. The zeal with which the organs of Toryism are labouring to create a division between the Whigs and the Radicals, ought to satisfy the leaders of both of the absolute necessity of their closer union. The To ries are cunning fellows ; and having failed in making head against both parties, they have recourse to the old maxim which makes conquest a necessary conse quence of division. lo attain this main object of their insiduous policy, they are neither scrupulous nor con sistent in their employment of what they regard as `likely to prove a means. While one journal denounces the Whigs as the servile tools at a base contemptible faction, composed for the most pot of men whom Lord LYNDHURST has denounced as " aliens by blood and in religion ;" another gravely charges the professors of Radicalism with having forsworn their hustings' pledges, and violated their principles to keep a faction less potent and more reprehensible than themselves in power. One day they ascribe to the in fluence of DANIEL O'CONNELL the entire policy of the Cabinet—they affect to weep over the national de-- gradation in being subjected to the sway of a Govern ment depending upon the beck of a Popish demagogue for existence—and they challenge LORD MEL BOURNE and his Excellency the LORD-LIEUTENANT of Ireland to afford the world the shadow of an evidence that they are more than the slaves of the Agitator. The next day they arraign Mr. O'CoN NELL as the slave and the culprit. He, not Lord MELBOURNE, or any other Lord or Minister, is held up to public reprobation as the betrayer of Ireland, and the apostate from the straight-forward prin ciples of Radicalism. The Radical leaders are then the knaves, and their followers the dupes, of Whig ambition. Thus the dolts continue, from day to day, to repeat charges against Whigs and Radicals, which mutually destroy each other. It is quite clear that Lord MELBOURNE cannot be the slave of Mr. O'CoN NELL, and Mr. O'CONNELL the submissive tool of Lord MELBOURNE, at one and the same time ; neither can the parties of which the Noble Lord and the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny are presumed to be the leaders, have mutually become the purchasers of the suffrages of each other. We arc, therefore, bound to regard such malignant insinuations as a ruse, the object of which is to cause a split between the more intemperate Whig and Radical leaders—which, of course, would terminate in the return of the Tories to power. The design of the Tory writers has not escaped the penetrating scrutiny of the most influential and able leaders of the Whig and Radical parties. A kw Ra dicals have fallen into the Tory trap ; w b u t - e are happy to say that their influence cannot extend to the perma nent injury of the cause of good government. Mr. O'CoNNELL was the first to denounce division b etween the Whigs and Radicals, as fraught with the most im minent peril to the principles of both ; and the H on. and Learned Gentleman has been ably seconded by IVIr. HENRY LYTTON BULWER in a letter addressed to one of his constituents, and just published under the title of " The Lords, the Government, and the Country." In this letter Mr. Bur,wEß passes over in Teview the acts of the last Session of Parliament ; exa mines the relative position of all parties at the open ing, and again, at the close of the Session ; contrasts the growing influence of the Radicals with the waning power of the Tories ; proves from the state of public :feeling, and the necessary operation of existing laws, that the principles of Radicalism must eventually triumph in the absorption of Whiggery ; and con by calling upon eludes all honest Reformers to merge petty differences in a combined unanimons effort to keop out the Tories. Without giving our implicit assont to every proposition contained in Mr. HENRY BULWER'S pamphlet, we can, nevertheless, reconunend it as an excellent text-book for all true Ile, 'Conners at the present important juncture. It may he u Ted by some that Mr. BULWER is too moderate in his v and over sanguine in his expectations, re apecti rig a reform of the Upper House, by means known the Constitution. We will venture to say that ti lt Is who so think are very far behind the Hon. Gentleman in a close examination of the real question at issue. Mr. BULWER boldly declares that " the feudal necessities for a House of Lords are gone by," —and that as " the Lords fill no longer the same space in the community which they did formerly, they can no longer exercise the same power ;" and hence lie infers that nothing can save the Peers from the in fluence of the spirit of change, but intemperate haste on the part of certain well-meaning but short sighted radicals. We agree with the Hon. Gen tleman in regarding Peerage Reform as inevitable ; nor do we see the slightest cause to differ with him, as to the prudence of seeking to efli!et it by the most peaceable means. But no degree of prudence precludes the free exercise of the right of petitioning the SOVE REIGN and the Legislature on the part of the people— prevents, or ought to prevent, the calling of public meetings in every town and village throughout the kingdom—the organization of clubs and societies—the diffusion of tracts and pamphlets—all praying for, re solving, and enforcing a speedy Reform of the House of Lords. The great object of Mr. HENRY LYTTON BULIVER'S letter, is to impress upon Whigs and Radi cals the importance and the necessity of the closest union in ol'de'r to defeat - the machinations of the common enemy—the Tories ; but as several other great ques tions are glanced at in it—particularly the Irish Corpo ration and Church Reform Bills—we shall take the earliest opportunity of again reverting to its pages. The Cheshire Conservative Association celebrated its second anniversary on Monday last, by a public dinner at Chester. Lord COMBERMERE was in the Chair, and by his speeches, of which he was singularly lavish, clearly proved how completely a military man is out of his element when discussing political themes. " He was not a friend," observed his Lordship, " to the meeting of the lower orders ; but on occasions such as that, when everybody was interested—everybody was concerned—when the question was of such vital importance, that it was time for all classes and parties, to unite in defence of the Church, the KING, and the Constitution." The meaning of all this rigmarole is obvious. The " lower orders"—as his Lordship superciliously designates them—have no right to meet, or entertain an opinion different from that held by his own party. He will allow them to meet as Conservatives, but has no notion of their meeting as Reformers. Their sole duty is to advocate the principles of Toryism. So long as they do this, his Lordship would tolerate them : but the instant they presume to have an opinion of their own, he would mercilessly cashier the whole fraternity. How strikingly characteristic are these sentiments of the " passive obedience" system inculcated among military men ! We need not state that the Cheshire Conservative meeting was a failure, seeing that with all their tact and energy, the faction could not bring together more than two hundred individuals. Lisbon mails to the 4th inst. have been received. Of the forty-one Peers, who compose the Portuguese House of Lords, twenty-seven have signed a protest, addressed to the QUEEN, against the proclamation of the Constitution. In this there is nothing either very alarming or very extraordinary. It is natural enough that the Peers should protest against the substitution of a form of Government, which deprives them of their privileges, for one which invests them with irrespon sible legislative functions. The Peers ought not to be blamed for opposing a change which threatens to de stroy their influence, both direct and indirect. But Portugal owes too little to her Peerage to be expected to trouble herself much about the protests of that body. She has not forgotten that the majority of the Peers were the first to declare in favour of the usurper MlGUEL—that of the whole body only six were found to range themselves under the standard of Don PEDRO when he first unfurled it at Oporto—and that of those who have signed the protest, nearly one-third have been raised to the Peerage as a reward for per sonal services. The Peers of Portugal have no inte rests in common with the bulk of the people ; they have not even the benefit of hereditary associations, and are morally disqualified to exercise a wholesome irresponsible influence over the legislative councils of the country. If in a Catholic country a Government can succeed in abolishing monkery without revolu tionary anarchy, there can be but little danger appre hended from an attack upon the privileges of an here ditary aristocracy. The reason is evident. The peo i-le know only the priests, and therefore neither under stan.4 nor appreciate the privileges of family distinc tion. The refuge of the destitute is the convent re fectory—not the castle hall. But as we have frequently before stated, the settle ment of the form of Government suited to the wants of the Portuguese nation is the proper business of the Cortes, convoked for that purpose. The meeting of this body is fixed fBi the Ist of December, until which time it is the duty of the Qt.) - .EEsr to maintain the Constitution—now that she has proclaimed it. If the Cortes, on mature deliberation, regard the Consti tution as unsuited to the wants and wishes of the people, it ought to be instantly replaced by the Char ter : but if, on the contrary, that assembly decree the Constitution preferable to the Charter for all purposes of good Government, then let it be confirmed without a moment's regard to Peerage protests. It is computed that the public property yet unsold will bring 4,000,0001. sterling into the Treasury. When the Cortes shall have met, Ministers intend pro posing a law to the effect that all property to be then disposed of, shall be paid for in cash, and not in paper securities. As such a project will be fraught with great advantages to the country, there is reason to believe that it will be readily adopted. The QUEEN has given directions for the establish ment of a National Theatre, which shall substitute elegant recreations for the demoralizing amusement of bull-fighting, now entirely abolished in Portugal. The G uerilla chief, REMEC IIIDO, is still at large in the Algarvcs. Some troops have been sent against him, but up to the Ist instant they had only succeeded in driving him into the mountains. His band amounts to fire hundred desperadoes who proclaim themselves the champions of Don MIGUEL. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday. Their contents are unimpor tant in every point of view. As we anticipated, the mockery of a political amnesty has satisfied no party. The Royalists are discontented because any Republi cans arc i nc l u d e d i n i t ; an d t h e R epu bli cans are furious majority because the •ty of those to whom it extends are notorious f or t h e i r h i gh Carl i st principles. The Swiss question is still the subject of general conversation in the political circles. The whole press of Switzerland is openly opposed to every thing like a compromise of the Federal dignity ; and the Paris Ministerial Journals would fain shift, the whole blame from the shoulders of Count MOLE to those of M. TII lER S. Neverth eless, t he question will be finally settled, without recourse having been had to measures involving a further infraction of the peace of the two countries. We believe that it has already been referred to British arbitration. The following telegraphic despatch from Spain was received by the French Government on Monday from Perpignan, under the date of the 7th inst. :—" In the night of the sth, General MAROTA, Intendant LA BANERO, two colonels, three lieutenant-colonels, a HONDURAS. captain, and nine other Spaniards, were arrested fit revenue officer, aha . . b I __[letachment of the 21st Light.

The poor creatures have been sent down here by order of Go vernment, and are to be indentured for thr,•.e years, after which period they will be free. Some of them could even speak English, and they had conic, I have heard, from the neighboorhood of Sierra Leone ; a great many were chil dren. They are now well clothed, well fed, moving about the place, and appear to undertake any light work, to which they are put with pleasure. They appear to be completely happy, and the change from their own country, and still more their escape from the tender mercies of the Spa niards, to the kind treatment and gentle usage which they will here receive, is to myself a subject of great pleasure. Of all the West India colonies, from what I have been given to understand, the negroes are best treated here ; they may be described as a happy popula tion ; they are fast purchasing the remaining years of their servitude ; and within these few days back, no fewer than four have bought their time, as they call it, under my di rection. Such a state of things is pleasant to contemplate. Upon this dispatch a French paper observes : " The place at which the Carlist General MAROTA was arrested is 6. small village in . France, named Err, not Eysse (as stated in the despatch), at the foot of the Col de Fenestrellcs, in the Pyrenees Orientales. MAROTA had been sent a few days before into Cata lonia, by Don CARLOS, to take the command of all the insurgent bands ; but having failed in all his opera tions, he was obliged to seek refuge in France. Madrid Journals to the 4th instant—one day later than those received yesterday—have reached us. Their contents are unimportant. The QUEEN REGENT daily appears in public, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the people. Ministers are doing all in their power to restore public credit and confidence ; and to provide for the speedy termination of the civil war. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) BO IV-STREET. Thatcher, better known by the name of " The Sleeper," was charged before Mr. Mrssnum,, upon suspicion of being concerned in a rather extensive robbery, which was committed in the house of Mr. Brown, the White Horse, in Drury-lane, about three weeks ago. _ _ Mr. Brown said — the prisoner was in the house on the evening in question, and helped to put out two persons who were quarrelling in the tap-room. His wife was confined, and he had no one to mind the bar. In an inner bar, upon a table was placed a desk, containing a 101. note, 69 sove reigns, the magistrate's certificate, a lease of some property, and many other valuable articles, which was never seen after, nor had the prisoner ever been in the house since. There were other circumstances which implicated him, but he was not then prepared with evidence. The prisoner was remanded till Saturday. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT' i).ER 12, it.. 36.

Charles Field, a person of rather decent appearance, was charged by a policeman before Mr. LAING with being drunk yes terday evening, in Middleton-street, Clerkenwell, and incapa ble of taking care of himself. Defendant (who appeared half stupid this morning) upon being asked what he had to say, remarked with perfect non chalance, "Oh yes, I'll pay as much money as you please, only just erase my name out of your books, that's all." He immediately handed over os,, the usual fee ; and before quit ting the office, turned round and said—" Let me see ; is that Mr. Laing sitting there ?"

Thomas Shank, collector for the Corporation for Smith field, identified the house and property as belonging to the Corporation. The prisoner said nothing in defence. Mr. LAING detained the prisoner until Monday, for the at tendance of the City Solicitor. TOWN-HALL. A gentleman from the office of Mr. Atkinson, the Solicitor of Clement's Inn, attended before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, on behalf of a person named Jonas Solomons, the keeper of a refreshment house opposite the Surrey theatre, to answer the complaint of an informer's witness of the name of Goose. Goose stated that last Sunday week, he observed the shop of Mr. Solomons open at nearly two o'clock in the morning. Several persons were then in the shop, being served with oysters and other articles. Witness, after calling the attention of the policeman on duty to the circumstance of the shop being open at so late an hour, went in and had a bottle of soda-water. He believed the house to be the worst house in the parish, and was a receptacle for females of loose character. On being cross-examined, Goose admitted that he was an informer's witness, and got 3s. 6d. a-day for his trouble. The policeman on duty corroborated the statements of Goose in several particulars. On behalf of Mr. Solomons, it was submitted that the in formation was good for nothing, inasmuch as the locality was not proved, and the offence had been said to have been com mitted on a wrong day. Mr. Alderman LUCAS overruled these objections, and fined the defendant 20s. and costs. THE FUNDS.-(THIS I)AY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Durou the Spanish Consul at Bayonne, arrived this morning at 6 o'clock in London, and we are informed that the negocia tions for funds to meet the Spanish dividends are so for ward, notwithstanding the reports spread, that very little remains to be settled, in order to advertise them in due course. _ . _ _ It is generally reported that it is the intention of the Bank Directors to augment their rate of interest to 51 per cent. on bills of a long date ; this has had the effect to prevent a rise in the British funds. The Government broker commenced this day the quar terly purchase of One Penny and Half-penny Exchequer Bills, by buying ten thousand at 5 per cent., discount.

Mr. Asheton Smith, the Member for Carnarvon shire, has returned from Wales to take charge of his hunting establishment near Weyhill. At the Court Leet for the Great Liberty Manor in Southwark, among other things, the jury presented as a nuisance a ditch at the bottom of Melior-street, Gimber's rents. This ditch is a common-sewer, and as such comes under the cognisance of the Commissioners of Sewers, who have most improperly allowed it to he in its present state since 1830. The Recorder, as Steward of the Manor, stated that he should advise an indictment, unless the nui sance was removed immediately. A daring highway robbery was committed at Saxilby, near this city, on Wednesday last, about six o'clock. Mr. Harrison, of Thorney, Nottinghamshire, was proceed ing on the road towards Drinsey Nook, when he was stopped by three men and three women, who commenced ill-treating him in a dreadful manner, which they persevered in till he told them to take his money and spare his life. They rifled his right hand pocket of a 5/. note, two s overeigns, and four half-crowns, and after threatening to murder him, ran away. They fortunately did not search the other pocket, or they would have found a more valuable booty. Mr. ,Harrison, accompanied by a l a d, w h o saw the thieves running away, shortly after came to Lincoln, and gave information of the robbery to the police. Tuxford soon got a clue of the party, and traced them to a house at the corner of Mo therby-lane, where three of the policemen kept watch the whole night, and the next morning apprehended them. Tuxford, we understand, had a pitch•fork thrust in his face upon entering the house, but being followed by others, they sucgegded iu capturing the whole gang , On Friday morn- ing they were examined, and pommitted for trial at the assizes.--Lincoin Gazcttc, . t it is understood tp 14p the4l4cooll A[ 441 Fitz wil4atp tp glyp away, op WedPP 6 443` ; 4 1 )04 400 pairs of blankets to the poor of this city and neighbouring villages.

LITERATUR E. ADVEN7'URES OF A JOURNEY OVERLAND TO INDIA. BY MAJOR SKINNER, 31ST RECT. 2 Vols. London, Richard Bentley , 1836. Major Skinner must be one of the liveliest, gayest, and happiest men in the world. In these delightful volumes we have a record of adventures such as no thin-skinned mortal everpassed through, and lived to nar rate ; and yet we have not been able to discover a single sentence penned in a snarling, discontented, or captious spirit. Our worthy traveller's good humour, disposi tion to be pleased with whatever might happen, and entire self-possession under the most trying circum stances, are constantly uppermost in the reader's mind during the perusal of these volumes. This is not the consequence of any artifice or peculiarity in the writer. It is the result of the most extraordinary incidents being narrated as if they were the merest common-place oc currences ; of dangers braved without a murmur ; and of the most acute physical privations endured with an indifference worthy of a stoic. There is no affectation of any kind in these volumes. The style is neither studied nor stilted, but flows on as gracefully and as naturally as the gallant Major's narrative. In 1832 our traveller sailed from Marseilles for Alexandria, whence he embarked for Coifa, on the coast of Pa lestine. His adventures with the " Bon Enfant," and the friars of the Convent of Mount Carmel, are admirably told. He thence proceeded to Jerusalem ; visited all the celebrated places in its vicinity ; went to Damascus and, joining a caravan, crossed the desart to Bagdad ; went to Hillah ; examined the ruins of Nineveh, and the Tower of Babel ; embarked fer Bussorah ; and thence proceeded to Calcutta. His suf ferings were extreme ; but he leaves the reader to infer that he thought no more about them than if they were matters of course. The following is his description of the present state of the far-famed city of Bagdad : " An Eastern city is, I have before observed, a mirage : Bagdad belongs to poetry, and even its historical splendour seems to have lived only in the fancies of those who related it. It is not easy to believe, in winding through the narrow dirty streets, with gloomy unplastered brick houses of all forms and heights—low unwholesome-looking passages of shops, beg gars and porters, stopping up the way—asses laden with water skins dropping their contents as they move over the feet of the passengers—camels whose bales bulging out to the walls on each side, threaten to squeeze them to a mummy,—that this is the celebrated seat of the magnificent caliphs, and of that hero of all kings, Haroun-el-Raschid,— " Where the gorgeous East Shower'd on its kings barbaric pearl and gold."' " Although the city lies now in ruins nearly, in general ap pearance, its size, the arrangement of its streets and bazars, the manner of its houses, its mosques, are precisely what they were in its best and proudest days. There is still the Tigris, however, to gratify the most fastidious traveller. As I crossed it by a bridge of boats, it presented a most animated and beau tiful scene. It is here six hundred feet wide ; I counted two hundred and seventy paces over the bridge. Long and thick groves of date trees border it below the city, and balconies hang over it on each side. The latticed windows that all have, make them more like prisons than places of enjoyment, and the lower part of the houses are mere walls of brick, with, in some of them, a small wooden door that leads into the " ler-dab," or cellar, in which the people sit during the heat of the day in summer. The only open terraces or balconies to wards the stream are those of the coffee-houses, where on high benches lounge the men, with pipes at their lips : the window-seats in most hang completely over the water, which during a flood runs through them. There are in one or two places steps for landing, where all tke women of the neigh bourhood arc generally collected together to fill their pitchers. " In the heart of the town, the narrow streets that termi nate at the river's bank, are choked up with mules and their drivers passing backward and forward for water ; for, conveni ent as the river is for the purpose, there is no place for fur nishing water to any part of the town, and, unlike Damascus, tt seems quite destitute of fountains. Many large vessels laden with skins from below, and rafts upon inflated skins from above, just arrived, are broken up for the purpose of selling the wood, lie close to the shore. There are logs of floating timber, or heaps of it on the land ; boats undergoing repair, or being built; pits full of bitumen, only detected by the smell, boiling along the quay without the least defence about them - and all this in so narro w a s p ace , t h at t h ere i s much difficulty in threading the way. " By the time I reached Mr. Grove's house, I was satisfied that the Bagdad of the " Arabian Nights" and the city on the banks of the Tigris were two very different places. Great splendour and miserable poverty have always been close neighbours in the East. To warn a monarch of the instabi lity of greatness, it was not necessary to point beyond the next abode to his palace, perhaps some wretched hovel ; for in such manner in the most flourishiag towns of modern days are houses mixed as I have no doubt they were in earlier and in richer times. Despotism is the great whirlpool that ab sorbs all—no wonder she shallower parts should at length be come dry. " This unfortunate city has for two successive seasons been ravaged by the plague. An affecting account of the progress of this dreadful visitation has been published in a journal kept by Mr. Grove, who was saved throughout a period of the most complicated misery that could befal mankind. At the same moment an enemy was at the gates of the town, inundation within its walls, and pestilence as well as famine in every house: When the plague was at its height, the besieging army sat down before the city. The unhappy inhabitants who were yet able, secured their property in the lower parts of their houses ; then broke in the river and swept it away, destroying whole quarters of the city at once 1 Those who were not strong enough to swim were drowned; it is computed that on one dreadful night fifteen thousand people were carried away the flood. That part of the town overthrown lies still In the ruins,—beggars, dogs, and lepers creeping about it. There is scarcely a street that has not marks of the destruction that assailed it. Nothing was sold in the shops ; and when the scanty provision of each house was exhausted, the animals that happened to be in them were loosened and sent into the streets to seek food for themselves, where dying, they spread about the corruption ; the water-carriers could no longer ply their trade, and those who were parched with fever fell exhausted in their attempts to reach the river ; mothers, when they found death coming upon them, gathered the little strength they had left, to carry their infants into the streets, in the hope that should they escape contagion, they might by some good passer by be saysd from starving; children of a few weeks old were found carelessly wrapped up, and many still survive ignorant alike of their parents and their religion. There was no es cape from the city ; many who attempted to reach the shore of the Euphrates were met by its waters, and, driven back upon the swelling Tigris, were drowned. " Daud Pasha wits at length attacked by the disease, and having lost all his troops, a regiment of Georgians, his own nation, being annihilated, he abandoned the town to its present ruler, and escaped by the river. The Albanians, who com posed chiefly the invading army, destroyed by fire and the sword a great portion of what had yet been saved. The palace has not one room remaining ; its outer wall only stands to show its extent. The population at the breaking out of the pla gue was eighty thousand ; fifty thousand died the disease alone. Bagdad is now as wretched and fallen in its appearance as St. Jean d'Aere. War and pestilence have walked unchecked through the dominions of the Turk; may Ivo not read in this a judgment against the power of Mohammed, which surely must fall, dwindled to a shadow as it now Is ? " The present Pasha was Governor of Aleppo, and being appointed to the Pushalick of Bagdad, came with an army of seven thousand men to unseat the actual ruler, who with true Turkish spirit refused to abdicate. Ali Pasha has been in Trieste ; so, having visited Frangistan, is very much of a re former, even to wearing the dress of the new Turkish army. His love for wine, I hear, is particularly distinguished ; but he is unfortunrtely not able to command his troops, who arc the most unruly monsters that I ever heard of ; they plunder in open day, and frequently extort money from passengers on on condition that they may be spared from death or mlitilation. A youth of 20 years of age, who is now under she refuge of this roof, was not many days ago walking reuletly through the streets, when a knot of these ruffians stopped him, and desired him to fall upon his knees, that ho might have his head cut off. He naturally objected to this dangerous mode of amusement; but, resolved upon pursuing their humour, the soldiers would listen to no remonstrance. Their victim resisted, and calling for assistance, attracted a shopkeeper, who endeavoured to ap pease his persecutors. ' What will you give to save his head ?' asked the soldiers, The merchant, I thiuk, named a sum which was not deemed satisfactory ; the devoted head was bargained for as if it had been a piece of merchandise—the sum offered was not eonsidered sufficient to save it ; the matter therefore was compromised, arid the boy was allowed to de part with the loss of his hand. He held it out, and receiving one cut, ran with it dangling from his wrist, la beg assistance and shelter here. He is recovering yet) , fast." The next extract is quoted rather to make our readers acquainted wi t h th e cool indifference a the gallant Major than with the well-1st:Iwo hospitality of the Arabs.

" Peace be to you said he, striding into th e m id st o f our 6. pausi ng ,little circle, and then as if doubtful whether wweheario rited such a salutation.

Wallah, you saY cried the Arab ; I came acros?, the river this morning ... d. , me see what I shall have, and in an hour I'll show the ° 1- as , " The bargain was soon struck ; for I was so pleascdt,otoo, cape from the necessity of lodging where he had fenn n , sa id that I promised him a sum beyond his hopes. Erfi c , h c l ' an thy he, the moment he heard it, let us be gone;' and , ' n ' ( t i - w ith i a t alien .v ~ a t mounting, we prepared to follow. But, too much MOW 0 . his good fortune, our guide was anxious to have it at once In e l i b e session, and, turning suddenly, demanded payment b ef° , e o f set out. I was not in a-humour for dispute, and, in W I :, I the entreaties of the Christian and the doubts of Has, s ' ho ' il t paid him all without condition. He now strode awaY without deigninguttering a syllable, or to satisfy our curiosi t y the part of the river to which Fie m wordo lead us. to In an hour, however, true to his, he brought us b i c h There was a small island in the midst of the stream, pa s " 0 0 it ran at a great rate, and the Arab declared the wat er but much more rapid and higher than in the morning.
